CottOnsced Meal.

The demand for cottonseed meal for
feeding purposes has grown wonderfully
within the past few years, indeed in many
places it has almost become a staple
article, like cornmcal After the oil is
extracted and the cake has been ground
into meal, it becomes a very nutritious
food and is highly esteemed by dairymcn
and others for causing an increased flow
of milk. 1t has great strength and should
not be fed alone; one quart mixed with
bran is about the right proportion to
begin with, which may be gradually in
creased to about two quarts as the animal
becomes accustomed to its use. 1t is
claimed to excel faXseed meal in milk
producing properties and is now sold at
about the same price per ton. OF all the
vegetable substances used for food the
cottonseed cake is richest in nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, and conse-
qucntly makes the most valuable manure.
1t is said that thrcc-fourths Of the seed
raised here is exported in the form Of
cake or meal to Europe where it is even
more highly appreciated than in this
country,

How to Secure Yellow Euttcr.

Guernsey Breeder atIrms that the color
fades out of the skin and ears of COW
before it does out of the butter. Cows of
all breeds pale as to their skin color wher
kept upon dry fodder, especially in Win
ter. There is really no COW feed or butter
feed equal to grass or grass and hay, and
for securing the required golden color in
skin and butter in winter, adds the au
thority quoted from, nothing is equal to
quick grown shade cured hay.
Shade cured hay is. that which as soon
as it is well wilted is raked into windows,
and rolled into good sized cocks while hot
from the sun, after. perhaps, once or
twice turning in the windows. The
cocks being watched TO prevent heat
ing in dry weather may be shaken
out, tossed well to the air, but not
spread about much, every green lock,
however, being found and shaken out
light In rainy weather or damp weather
the cocks must bctnade solid and pointed,
and should be protected by caps. Such
hay will be fit to house nearly as quickly
as that which is dried out by the hot sun
shine so that nearly all the leaves and
heads of the clover are either broken off
and left in the field or ground to dust III
handling and treading upon the hay on
the load and in the NOW. Good shade
cureu nay Is very green ana uf!, DuJ not
brittle. 1t may be twisted hard and show
no moisture, while it will show tleXibil-
ity and toughness entirely foreign to dried
out, sun cured hay
Other articles of food have great effect
on butter and skin color. Lawn clippings
are excellent; ensilage has some effect;
carrots have great effect pumpkins are
famous for following butter; long red and
yellow globe mangles are useful; yellow
cornmeal is to be highly commended, and
a system of extra good feeding always
prolongs the period of high colored but
ter, There are, however, certain articles
which effect a loss of col1 at once; green
corn fodder, dry corn fodder, steamed,
any steamed fodder, and probably good
many other things.

The SwitZer Apple.

The Swtzer apple, one of the Govern
ment Russians" imported by the United
States department of agriculture in 1862
70, has, according to as high authority as
Wick, shown itself a thorough ironclad
and remarkably fine grower both in the
nursery and orchard. 1t is large and
handsome red apple, and the tree is a
heavy bearer. With Wick, on Il light soil
it drops a good deal of its fruit in the
course Of the season, but carries a fair
crop to maturity. Grown in northern
Vermont and Quebec, it keeps until the
holidays or later.

From the Farm, stock and HomeJ
A COW is in her prime when she is from
four to six years old, and the best paying
time to buy is Just after the birth OF her
second or third calf. Prominence and full
ness of milk veins, and velyety softness OF
skin are good indications. The milk veins
should run down on either side toward the
udder, be easily perceptible to the eye, or
readily found by pressure OF the hand.
Their hair should not be hard, rough or
staring. Symmetry, fullness and so1tnesS
of the udder, which should be well spfeau
out, projecting behind the legs, ana also
reaching well forward under the belly IL
should feel soft and thin to the touch, ana
an absence of freshness or thickness. Inc
number and condition OF the teats should
be natural if one teat is lacking, fourth
less milk will be the result. a COWS I'd
der is not, as some suppose, DarIel WIN
four taps, but is divided into four different
commitments called milk glands, each of
which has its own tap or teat. 1t IS not
only important that the full number OF
teats be present and in working order,
but it is desirable that they be well placed,
not crowded together, but well apart, ana
at nearly equal distances apart they
should be rather long and taperng. An
other important point is Quietness ana 90
cility of disposition. These qualities are
indicated by large, mild and clear eyes,
and ar air of contentment generally. A
COW that is quiet and contented feeds at
ease, chews her cud with entire satistac-
ton. and will secrete more milk than
restless, turbulent animal, even IL III mas
similar milking characteristics.

Foot rot in sheep is an exceedingly
troublesome disease rs it robs the animal
affected of its flesh and decreases its value,
though not always, by any means, fatal,
The general impression is that foot rot is
contagious. The editor of The Massachu-
sets Ploughman says on the subject:
"Perhaps the ordinary foot rot is not con
tagious, but the 'epizootic foot rot, or
'murrain' is eminently so. The foot
rot is found only On low or moist
grounds, and probably arises from the
hool not wearing down, as it does ON
stony ground, but growing to an unusual
length because of the warmth and moist
ure of the soil. In Massachusetts the
sheep are kept upon dry, rocky pastures,
which are best for the shecp;so that cases
of the foot rot are very rare, if any eX-
